FLEXcon and NeXolve Partner to Deliver Two New Polyimide Solutions

SPENCER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FLEXcon,
an innovator in adhesive coating and laminating, today announced a
collaboration initiative with NeXolve,
a wholly owned subsidiary of ManTech International Corporation and
manufacturer of high-performance polymer materials, to help them expand
two commercial solutions: Thermalbright® Polyimide and CP1 Polyimide.
FLEXcon uses its equipment to coat NeXolve technologies onto other films
to make multilayer roll products. The roll products are used to develop
finished components that NeXolve and their clients use in various
industries.

“FLEXcon has worked successfully with a number of organizations and
individuals, from engineers and designers to scientists, to help them
develop commercially viable products for a variety of industries,” said
Shirley Monte, Business Development Manager, FLEXcon. “This partnership
combines NeXolve’s scientific capability to turn chemistries into
innovative applications with our manufacturing expertise and solutions,
successfully bringing their products to market.”

“We need to partner with a manufacturer that can deliver an array of
solutions designed to fit the specific needs of our customers from a
variety of industries,” said Garrett Poe, Program Director, NeXolve. “By
forming this strategic relationship with FLEXcon, we are able to provide
a unique set of finished products to serve the electronics, industrial
and aerospace markets.”

NeXolve’s Thermalbright Polyimide is a breakthrough high temperature,
highly reflective opaque white polyimide film that exhibits the lowest
moisture uptake of all commercially available polyimides. Typical
polyimides are orange colored and highly absorptive when filled with
white pigments, however Thermalbright is bright white in color and
contains no silicones, acrylics or non-polyimide polymers. Thermalbright
is ideal for use as thermal control materials, high temperature labels,
high temperature reflective materials, and other applications requiring
long duration exposure to extreme environments while retaining high
reflectivity. It is commercially available in rolls up to 60" wide, as
well as in castable and sprayable liquids.

NeXolve’s CP1 Polyimide exhibits very low moisture uptake, has the
lowest dielectric constant of commercially available polyimides, and is
highly transparent and colorless, making it an ideal choice for
interlayer dielectrics, electronics, displays and aerospace
applications. Additionally, continuous rolls are available now in
thicknesses as low as 2.5 microns (0.1 mil) and in widths up to 60
inches (152 cm).
